• EIP-7702 revolutionizes wallet management, allowing external accounts to act like smart contracts and improving user experience.
  • Odyssey testnet speeds up Ethereum dApp development with high performance and integrates advanced cryptographic features.
  • Coinbase’s restructuring focuses on on-chain growth and user-friendly crypto solutions with new leadership at Coinbase Wallet and Base.

EIP-7702 is poised to revolutionize wallet management and account abstraction in cryptocurrency. Announced by Georgios Konstantopoulos on X, the new Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) allows externally owned accounts (EOAs) to function like smart contracts. This development, available for testing on the Odyssey Chapter 1 testnet, aims to create seamless onboarding, enhanced user experiences, and greater efficiency.

EIP-7702 will change the game for wallets.

You can try it out today on Odyssey CH1 – our testnet for developers at the frontier.

Besides improving transaction processing, EIP-7702 unlocks crucial features like gas sponsorship, account recovery, and transaction bundling. Additionally, its integration with Viem and Coinbase Smart Wallet showcases its practical potential. 

This allows developers to design more intuitive, safe, and effective decentralized programs. It appears that Bitcoin wallets have a bright future because of the new prospects these advancements are bringing to the ecosystem.

Odyssey Chapter 1: A High-Performance Testnet

Odyssey Chapter 1 offers developers access to cutting-edge Ethereum features before they hit mainnet. This testnet, built using the Reth SDK and OP Stack, focuses on high performance, stability, and extensibility. It operates at 33 megagas per second, with plans to scale up to gigagas in future chapters. This performance leap allows for faster and more stable dApp development.

Moreover, Odyssey integrates advanced features from Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra and Fusaka upgrades. This includes EIP-2537 for BLS12-381 cryptographic operations and RIP-7212 for hardware-accelerated elliptic curve signatures, reducing gas costs. These additions enhance security and improve the developer experience, pushing the boundaries of Layer 2 (L2) innovation.
